Moderation: The best approach to life is moderation. A well balanced diet with good portion control, combined with regular exercise with get you started. Check out the USDA's site www.choosemyplate.gov and follow that basic plate advice. There are all kinds of tips and good information for the whole family. I recommend it to most of my patients' families.

If only that easy...: Body sculpting sounds promising (& there are gimmicks & diets that promise you their products can do this), but the only way to effectively spot-reduce unwanted tissue is to surgically remove it. The "pear" body type preferentially stores fat around the hips; "apples" store it around their waist. Lose 1 pound of fat for every 3500 calories you drop or exercise off, but you can't pick where--sorry.
